Most excellent mate ...It's not as specific as I would have wanted, but its a start in the right direction. I am hoping that more specific details will emerge in time...cheers...T.T.

No probs,

We did not collect full details as full responsibilty lay with the purchaser, but at least you can gain an idea of how many were brought back.

Its only possible to do this as we have worked with Animal welfare with regards to doing what we can to ensure compliance with the rules, and these are some of the figures we are to supply them with.

Is anyone planning on getting a tort from there?...If you do, could you answer a couple of questions for me please-

What Sub-species?...Size?...Weight?

How much you have paid?

Country of Origin?

What type of enclosure will you be using?

What diet/food you plan to offer your tort?


This is a serious thread, I am just trying to gather tort data...thanks in advance. If you would rather pm the details, not a problem there, cheers...T.T.

1. Hermans (Probably the corn snake of Torts)
2. Looked for an 06/07. Purchased an 07.
3. Didn't have any ref to weight but will weigh once I have new digi-scales.
4. Depending on year they were 60-100E. Paid 50 (through haggling).
5. CB Germany.
6. Tort Table.
7. Garden 'weeds' including dandilion/daisy aswell as some simple greens like baby kale. Probably add a tort specific brand diet but to be honest I'm not big on them. Might give it a bash though.

Should add I asked all the vendors if they had paperwork. None didn't have A10 papers aswell as photo ID and a small printed info sheet with both common and latin.

I have to say the vast majority of the Torts there looked fab. One or two looked a bit iffy but I think that was more envirnomental. My wee guy was the most active in the display and I did have a wee body check before I agreed to take him. He's really chirped up in the last couple days.

Nice one, your lucky No. 1...Thanks for this, please keep me updated in the future.

Just a side note, I do not want to turn this thread into anything else, other than tort data...But you may want to go to the shelled section, and ask the good tort keepers there opinions (there a friendly bunch) about a couple of points in your post- Daisys, Baby kale, Tort specific brand diet...cheers...T.T.
